From MemoryArchive
Who: My sister, my cousin, my brother, and me What: I got in trouble because I went some were without telling my sister When: Nighttime Where: At my grandmother's house
It was nighttime at my grandmother's house. It was my sister, cousin, brother, and me. So my cousin asked me to call my mother and asked her if I can go over to her house. I told my cousin I was scared to ask my mother anything. But I still called her and the phone was ringing low, and my heart was dropping fast like an earthquake but I did all that for nothing because she said yes. Me and my cousin were happy because we had all of things planned.
Me, my cousin, and my brother went outside and I was still talking to my mother and I told her I was about to leave now and so we went to the store first. So we came out of the store and got in the car and the phone was ringing real loud and so my brother answered the phone and my sister was mad and she sounded like a sheep or something. But so anyway she told my brother to bring me back home and my bother asked her "why?" She said that is because I did not tell nobody I was leaving so I am in trouble.
My brother said we are going to take Tyeisha's home. That is my cousin, I said "why?" My brother said because my sister called and told my brother to bring me back home because you are in big trouble. My face got tight. When we got there from taking my cousin home we was sitting in the car waiting for my sister to come but instead of coming to me she wanted me to come to her. While I was coming to her my heart was beating when I got over there my sister smacked me in my face. IT HURT BADLY.
After she hit me she told me to go in the house. Later on that day she said "Oh, I forgot to tell you that ma said she is going to beat your butt" and she's over there laughing like a sheep and it was loud the way she laughed. While I was sitting over there crying my heart out she's over there laughing and giggling. But I said I hope that she forgets about that beating.
When my mother got home she said "Don’t I owe you a beating?" But when she said that my heart dropped faster than it did at first when my sister hit me. But all my mother did was talk to me about not doing that again because something bad can happen to me. My mother said if I EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER do that again do I know want is going to happen I said "Yes, mother." And we lived happily ever after.
